The top rated Mon-Tues drama Punch wrapped up this week with a drama ratings high note, but the entertainment news coverage was split between that drama ending and the premiere of new KBS drama Blood. The K-netizen reactions towards the drama story line and the acting of the two leads Ahn Jae Hyun and Gu Hye Sun nicely sum up … Continue reading →
Whatever upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Blood has up its sleeve, be it hot mess or watchable entertainment, the long 6-minute preview at least kept my interest. It wasn’t always in a good way, but there was enough juicy thumbs up bits to merit my inclination to check it out. I hope the narration is cut or at least kept to … Continue reading →
I’ve blogged about plenty a fashion fail moments whether at awards shows or press conferences and the standard reaction remains the same befuddled look accompanied by the outburst of “da hell is he/she wearing?” Gu Hye Sun may have had her share of odd attire in the past but this one at the Blood press conference takes the cake. It’s … Continue reading →
The official drama posters are out for the upcoming KBS vampire medical drama Blood, taking over the Mon-Tues slot from the underrated Healer. I’m sure fans of the leads of this drama will claim I’m piling on yet again but the posters are so whiplash inducing I can’t even. Is it a rom-com, what with Gu Hye Sun and Ahn … Continue reading →
Now that the January K-drama premieres are done it’s fully onwards to February and the splashiest (flashiest?) on the plate to be served is indisputably Blood. Will it be all style with no substance? Teasers and promos might look that way but there remains the possibility that the production of Good Doctor knows what it’s doing and picked the ideal leads … Continue reading →
It’s a reality that sometimes things look better merely by comparison. Like that slice of store pizza turned down at lunch which suddenly looks like a feast in hindsight when dinner is a microwave frozen entree. Ji Jin Hee has been a leading man for over a decade in his even longer acting career and has never ever gotten me … Continue reading →
All the naysayers (myself included) around the casting of Ahn Jae Hyun as the male lead of Blood really can’t ask for more substantiating evidence then the just released new teaser for the drama. It’s so funny I was spitting up something that was luckily not blood. I actually thought Ahn Jae Hyun was promising in You From Another Star, playing … Continue reading →
Will Blood be able to draw out the feels from the viewers the way currently airing KBS drama Healer has been doing? Healer isn’t leaving big shoes for Blood to fill come mid-February because of high ratings since it’s just doing okay, but in terms of fan fervor and audience appeal then Blood definitely needs to sell the vampire doctor … Continue reading →
I haven’t been able to write anything substantive about the currently airing KBS Mon-Tues drama Healer since I’m traveling. I’m not just watching it, I’m totally loving it! That means I’m even more reluctant for the drama to end and Blood to arrive, aside from finding everything about Blood’s casting to be cringeworthy. Male lead Ahn Jae Hyun looks like a … Continue reading →
So who’s ready for the headlining one-two punch of Ahn Jae Hyun and Gu Hye Sun for the upcoming KBS drama Blood? To say I’m so not is an understatement. I don’t even think potentially hate-watching this drama will be all that fun either, the snark level seems so low the jokes may just write itself. Like this one – … Continue reading →
While all the attention is currently on the still casting MBC drama Kill Me Heal Me, over at KBS the final shakedown of the main leads for vampire medical drama Blood is nothing short of inexplicable. The rumored casting of newbie actor-model Ahn Jae Hyun has been confirmed as the male lead vampire doctor and Ji Jin Hee remains onboard as … Continue reading →
I don’t know what else to say about the current weekend drama Angel Eyes other than – it’s really really good so don’t be scared and watch it! The first two episodes actually aired last weekend but it was primarily the teenage section of the story with Kang Ha Neul and Nam Ji Hyun ably hitting it out of the … Continue reading →
With the weekend dramas Golden Rainbow and Thrice Married Woman well into its airings, the networks are finally getting down to business of locking down the main leads for the follow up dramas. Today both MBC and SBS dropped casting news but it’s not exactly double the happiness when I heard it. I’ll do the happiness inducing good news first … Continue reading →
